By the end of 2009, the academy was strongly pushing the idea of gender as a social construct. At the same time, studies were coming out about how American women were much less happy than they were in 1970s, a research result often repeatedly found since. I cite these to suggest something about women and men and argue that one’s sex is a part and parcel of a larger reality of a person, one’s gender, even as it comes draped in social constructs.
In this sermon I also make shocking confession regarding myself and alcohol.
Luke 8:1-3, along with the whole gospel, shows how a woman’s voice, crucial to the work of Jesus Christ, is given play in a community in which men are called to lead. What motivates the parties involved? How does one exemplify these principles in a church?
